The White Stripes, songwriter Jack White (vocals/guitar/piano/bass) and Meg White (drums/vocals) formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. After releasing several singles and three albums within the Detroit independent music underground, The White Stripes rose to prominence in 2002, as part of the garage rock revival scene.

Their use of analog and low-fidelity equipment in the recording process partnered with a DIY approach created a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement and performance that sets them apart from their contemporaries.

In 1999, Jack and Meg White released their self-titled debut album, introducing an explosive new mix of punk, blues and garage rock. Jack has described the album as "really angry ... the most raw, the most powerful, and the most Detroit sounding record we've made."
